Terminal (typeface)

It uses crossed zeros, and is designed to approximate the font normally used in MS-DOS or other text-based consoles such as on Linux.

Similarly, changing the language setting for Windows applications that do not support Unicode will alter the appearance of OEM/DOS scripted Terminal font.

Terminal is based upon code page 437 (or other codepages with suitable language, such as CP850) and is not aligned with Unicode.

According to some strings hidden in the file, the original Terminal font size (9x12) was designed in 1984 by Bitstream Inc.

The CGA and EGA versions of the Terminal font exist, but they share similarities with the IBM CGA font, with slight differences in characters.
